Head Chef
Flagship Restaurant | Greater Manchester
£50,000-£60,000 inc Bonus + Tips + Benefits
Some kitchens are all about numbers.
This one is about standards, energy, flavour and building something people genuinely want to come back to.
We're recruiting for a talented Head Chef to lead the kitchen at one of Greater Manchester's busiest and best-loved restaurants. This is a high-volume operation with real reputation, strong support from ownership and the freedom for the right chef to truly make the role their own.
The restaurant turns over serious numbers, often exceeding £80,000 per week, but the focus has never been on churning covers out at the expense of quality. The team cares deeply about food, consistency, service and creating an atmosphere people remember.
We're looking for a Head Chef who:
* Leads from the front and naturally earns respect in the kitchen
* Takes real pride in standards, presentation and consistency
* Understands how to run a commercially successful kitchen without compromising quality
* Enjoys developing chefs and building a strong brigade culture
* Still genuinely loves food and the buzz of service
You'll have the freedom to influence menus, work with quality produce and help shape the next chapter of a restaurant already known as a standout venue in the region.
In return, you'll receive:
* £50,000-£55,000 basic salary
* Achievable bonus structure
* Tips approx £5,000 per annum
* Staff perks and discounts
* A supportive senior leadership team
* Long-term progression opportunities within a growing hospitality group
Most importantly, this is a role where your contribution will genuinely be valued. The owners understand hospitality, back their people and want a Head Chef who sees this as more than just another kitchen job.
If you're an experienced Head Chef ready for the next step and you want to lead a kitchen you can truly be proud of, we'd love to speak with you.
